This week's lucky water-colour-winner will receive a $15 gift certificate (+free shipping within the USA) from out sponsor Inspired by Stamping.

Bet you can guess my initial response to this challenge...yep! Fear, anxiety, dread...however, I overcame 'some' of that when my recent win from Studio Katia (who, by the way, is located in my home city of Edmonton!) arrived this week. So thrilled and honoured to receive such a wonderful prize package that included stamps AND dies! Please welcome the debut of the newest member of my collection: Kobi, the Birthday Bear. Isn't he A-DOR-A-BLE???

Kobi, his cake, assortment of gifts, the wee bee (ACK!) and balloon were water-coloured with a combination of Tombow markers and distress inks. The background stenciling, in real life, is light green (Twisted Citron), but it shows rather 'brown' here. I know my water-colouring doesn't do him justice; I tried, though! I really did! I have more Kobi's stamped and we're going to do some exploring with pencils to see how that goes. Stay tuned...Kobi will be back...again and again *grin*

THANK YOU, Katia, for the gift of Kobi! He will receive plenty of TLC!

Please head over to Cupcake Inspirations to see my team-mates' watercolour wonders...

What a wonderful prize, Carol ... congratulations! You've certainly made Kobi the star of the show here with your sweet colouring ... he's such a cutie set amidst all those party goodies and his friend the wee bee! Hugs, Anita :)

Kobi is not only a great name for this bear, he is also so stinking cute. You have done a great job with water coloring and I know that it can be a challenge. Thanks for joining is at Seize the Birthday, Hope to see you again.Barbara DT member

There is nothing wrong with your watercoloring, Carol. You did a great job with Kobi and all his little birthday items. And I do mean little. How cute is that bee? Oh, and the stenciling looks green to me.

Welcome to "Just Me: c", my work-in-progress, new learning space where I dabble in the 'art of the card.' I'm an enthusiastic amateur, with plenty to learn. Sometimes - okay, often - silly 'what was she thinking' things will appear. Thanks for stopping by...
